The Judge Tells Them They Must Re. sign Their Omees at once.
 l CHICAGO, Aug. 7.-The convicted boodlers, Wren, McClaughery, Wasserman, Ochs, Van
 Pelt, Leyden and Varnell, who spent the
 night in the County jail, did not rest well.
 Wren and Varnen did not undress. They
 were all up by seven o'clock, and sat around
 gloomily enough until half-past eight, when
 four walters from neighboring hotel set a
 table in the third gallery of the boys depart
 ment of the jail, where breakfast was served.
 Yesterday afternoon States Attorney Grin
 nell called np the motion for new trial for
 the convicted boodlers. In doing so, he said
 they had not yet had the decency to hand in
 their resignations, and he demanded that it
 be done at once. Judge Jamieson emphati- cally announced that the defendants must resign. The spectacle of the legislators of this great country administering it's affairs in jail would not be tolerated. Alexander Su1- Hvan for the defence pleaded for time to con- suit with his colleagues on this point, and also asked to have the arguments on the motion for 8 new trial postponed until Sep Gember. After much discussion MT. Sulli- van succeeded in getting matters delayed ! until Monday, with the understanding that if l the boodlers resigned in the meantime ar guing of the motion for 8 new trial would be ! put off until September. Those of the bood- ! ers who were merely fined concluded not to I take any further chances and withdrew their ! notion for another trial.

This was his condition at twenty two months old when undertook the care of him, his mother having died when he was little more than year old of consumption (Scrofua of course). He could walk little, but could not get up if he fell down and could not when in bed, having no use of his hands. I immediately com menced with the Cuticura Remedies, using the Cutcura and Cuticura Soap freely, ,and when he had taken one bottle of the Cutcura ReSovent his head was completely cured and he was improved in every tinued the use of the Remedies for year and half One sore after another healed, a bony matter forming in each of these five deep ones just be- fore healing, which would finally grow loose and were taken out; then they would heal rapidly. One of these ugly bone formations I preserved. After taking dozen and a half bottles he was complete ly cured and is now, at the age of six years, 8 strong and healthy child. The scars on his hands must always remain; his hands are strong, though once feared he would never be able to use them. All that physicians did for him did him no good.

 BUFFALO, Aug, 7.-The East Aurora Fair association advertises as an extraordinary at traction for it's annual agricultural festival next month an exhibition of trip1ets, who are to compete for premium of s10 in gold offered for that purpose by the President of the United States. It has been the custom of the association for several years to have special features of this kind, and one of the managers wrote to MT. Cleveland, request ing that he stand sponsor in this way for the handsomest trio of infants, and the locality of birth was not confined to Erie county. The President promptly responded, and the association is determined to make the most of it. Erie county has never been famous for triplets, but exhibitions of twins have been very successful By not confning the baby show to Erie county it is hoped to get a varied assortment that the exhibition will be worth seeing. The ladies of East Aurora intend sending an invitation to Mrs. Clvee. land and her mother, Mrs. Folsom, to be present, and if is expected that they will be asked to act as judges. An invitation has al- ready been sent to Mir. Cleveland, but he is barred on account of the fact that he is the donor of the premium. Mrs. Harriet Tyler, who is superintendent of the baby depart ment, has designated Wednesday, September IA, as the day for the competition. A build ing will be provided in which the babies will be exhibited from noon until D. m.

A Necklace of Human Fingers.

WASHINGTON, Aug "A curious and in- teresting relic of Indian barbarism was re- ceived at the War department few days ago. It consisted of a necklace of human fingers. Originally there were eleven fingers strung together after the manner of necklaces of bears claws, but three of them had been lost. This ghastly adornment was captured in an attack on the Northern Cheyennes in 1876, and each finger represented life taken by the owner, the big medicine man of the tribe. The fingers had been preserved by opening the skin, removing the bones, scrap replacing the bones and subjecting the skin to some tanning process. The necklace was sent to West Point by Captain Bourke, who is now engaged in preparing some historical brought from West Point here in order that it might be reproduced in papier mache at the Smithsonian Institution

John Green, of Boston, sec onded Goss and George Downing, of Bridge port, attended to Nelson. Gus Fills, of New Haven, was timekeeper for Goss and John Connor, of Norwich, acted for Nelson. About one hundred and fifty witnessed the fight, paying $5 for the privilege. Both men showed much science and did some heavy but not effective hitting. In the second, fourth, eighth and twelfth rounds Nelson struck Goss foul blows which Ashton did not allow, but simply cautioned Nelson against repetition. In the sixteenth and last round Nelson struck Goss two foul blows and Ashton declared the fight at an end and in favor of Goss. Both men escaped severe punishment

Whiteley had the greatest difficulty in ob- taining insurance. He offered high pre- miums without avail, the insurance com panies conceiying that somebody had spite against him. They were willing to insure his residence and those of his employees, how ever.

Tho CrOquet Tournament at Norwich. NORWICH, Aug. 7.-The national croquet tournament which opens here on the 10th inst. promises to be most interesting one. This year 8 small fee will be charged for ad- mission to the grounds-10 cents for single ticket and 50 cents for admission to all games of the week. The pureh aser's name will be written on each season ticket and they will not be transferable. This is done to enable the club to sustain the great expense of keeping the grounds in condition, and it will also debar the hoodlums who have proved somewhat of nuisance in years past. The fencing of the grounds cost $200 and the rent is $50 per year, so the public can readily see that there is some expense as we'll as pleasure to professional croquet Previous to last year the local lovers of the game bore all the expense of the grounds, but last season the out of town players insisted on paying their share for keeping the grounds in condition during the tournament.

AT THE UNITED CHURCH
Preaching Yesterday by Rev. M BicksIer - The Late Samuel

 Preaching Yesterday by Rev. NAT. ! Bicksler The Late Samuel C.. Thorne.
 Rev. MT. Bicksler, late of the Yale theo- logical seminary, graduate of this year. conducted the Sabbath service of the United church at it's new chapel on Temple street yesterday. The beautiful rooms were filled with the members of the church and congre- gation and a number of strangers. They are always welcome, not only at meetings on Sunday, but at the Tuesday evening weekly meetings. The sudden death of MT. Samuel G. Thorne, long a member of this and of the Third church, last week, added seriousness to the meeting, as to the last evening meet ing, when it was mentioned, having occurred that afternoon. The fifteenth chapter of Mark, in which is narrated Christ's cruel cruci6xion and death, was read for the open ing scripture lesson of the day. "He saved others, himself he cannot save," (words of
 the thirty-fr verse,) were chosen for the text. In the prayer which followed reading of the scripture very feeling allusion was made to Deacon Thorne's sudden decease, and at the close of the sermon a practical lesson was drawn fir m it; to do now, while life and health are ours, the Masters work, "for in such an hour as we think not the son of man cometh." The bereayed family were carefully commended to our heavenly fathers care, to have in him their trust and consolation, who careth for us The speaker announced after reading his text, 'sHe saved others, himself he cannot save," that his sermon would naturally be evangeli- cal rather than doctrinal. The incidents of Christ's crucifxion were graphically gone over, contrasting his treatment by his enc m mics es with the long suffering @ loving kindness the undoubted salvation of Socrates, Confu- cius, Montefore and of the great learned philanthropists of India and their title to heaven as far above that of scribes and pharisees or infdels of the present day. He alluded to Ingersoll as the most prominent and least excusable rejecter of Christ. The or derly attention of the orphans with their teachers occupying the front row of gallery seats was pleasing marked feature of the meeting

I am now over seventy-fve years of age, hale and hearty, and attribute my wonderful health to the persistent use of Brandreth's Pills. Occasionally have bad cold or severe at tack of rheumatism, indigestion or bilious ness, but four or five doses of Brandreth's Pills always cure me.
